Re: Duh. What am I missing about inherited constructors?

I told you my brain was befuzzed. The :: should have been -> in that posting.

I expected that the call to new would wind-up executing the code in Foo which would, by means of $class->SUPER::, invoke the one in Bar...

I expected that the call to new would wind-up executing the code in Foo which would, by means of $class->SUPER::, invoke the one in Bar... But it does. What makes you think it doesn't? I cannot deduce the problem from your code snippet. `use 5.010; package Bar; sub new { say "Bar!"; []; } package Foo; use base qw/Bar/; sub new { my $class = shift; say "Foo!"; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); bless $self, $class; return $self; } package main; my $bletch = Foo->new; say ref($bletch); __END__ Foo! Bar! Foo` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

use 5.010;
package Bar;

sub new {
    say "Bar!";
    [];
}

package Foo;
    use base qw/Bar/;
    sub new {
      my $class = shift;
      say "Foo!";
      my $self  = $class->SUPER::new(@_);
      bless $self, $class;
      return $self;
    }

package main;
my $bletch = Foo->new;
say ref($bletch);  

__END__
Foo!
Bar!
Foo
